Experts in health policy have been digesting what the law could change for Americans on average, including the estimated impact on the cost of health insurance by the AHCA, which has also been referred to as "Trumpcare" by lawmakers and outlets on both sides of the aisle, despite the White House's pushback on the name.

As part of the AHCA, Americans who do not get coverage through their employer or a government program like Medicaid or Medicare would receive a tax credit to buy insurance through the individual insurance market.

The AHCA does not adjust subsidies based on income or cost of living, unlike the Affordable Care Act, the healthcare law better known as Obamacare, instead giving a flat total to people based on their age.
